Without expressing ourselves as believing or discrediting thc evidence given hy Humbert at the late session of thc Court, in reference to the com plicity of other persons in the frauds that have been in the past perpetrated in this countj' with perfect impunity, and without making any comments as to the seeming probability of that testimony, we give below a few facts which are matters of recbrd as relat ing to this matter. F. H. Greene did not have a settle ment with the school commissioner for the, State* apprcpriation because, by.no fault of his own, he was unable to elfect this settlement, but he turn ed over to T. K. Sasportas, his suc cessor in the county treasurer's ofllce, thestj vouchers, and took bis receipt for the same, as is clearly established by the following affidavit: Extracts from inventory of books, papers, vouchers, accounts, furni ture, &c, and receipt for the HuirW given by T. K. Sasportas to Krank H. Greene, late treasurer of Or angeburg County, S. C., upon T. Iv. Sasportas. assuming the duties bf county treasurer : " One (1) package of .school vonoh marked " ?v? containing sett! iii me nrrounting to six thousand ?o hundred and twelve dollar ielve?nts, iSfi-ilvjo January I, 1870^ bf Orangcburg County.

Will* you state what you know about thif^jnatier A. Wilde on ?h? train of the South Carolina Railroad, going from Or angcburg to Columbia, l*told Mr. Andrews- that I had missed some of thc vouchers out of my office, of the settlement he (Andrews) had made with me. Mr. Andrews told me that, inasmuch as a committee of the grand jury of the county had beeu appoint ed to investigate all ?the offices of the count}', that the.b'est thing I could do for myself, before that committee, was to make a statement to the effect that J. .L. Humbert, county treasurer, had come into my olllee during my absence, abstracted Andrews' vouch ers and. made a settlement with inc, as county'treasurer', fdr.the State ap propriation of the school fund of this county for'tho year ending October 81, 1871, as*he (Andrews) held my receipt in full for his settlement. ? QI, by Humbert* Did I abstract any vouchere appertaining to Mr. T. C. Andrews' settlement? A. You did not; but Andrews did. A few days after- the conversation spoken of as having taken place on the train, I met Mr. Andrews at Orangcburg Court House. He told me that he had taken those papers out of my oflice that were missing, for the purpose of cancelling them, ns they had not boen properly cancelled ; that he had tried to borrow from Humbert some of his school papers to put in my ollice in place of those he (Andrews) had taken out, and that Humbert bad refused to give bira tliose papers. Before this same committee Primus Burwiek, being sworn, testified : I was Mr." McKinlny's clerk. I was clerk for him from the time Mr. Andrews was treasurer until Mr. Mc Kinlay went out of .office. Mr. An drews had .iome papers in thc office- - some p:?pers that he had made a set tlement with Mr. McKinlay with that had bee:: changed twice. They WCli; bUjj&ol 0*0.1.

Park, and have come to the conclusion that it is a big, bewil dering thing- a vulgar thing in one sense, for the principal shopmen of the world have come here to adver tise their waren, and tbi.s advertising is the pronounced feature of the In hibition. .Scandinavia advertises lier iron and furs, Galibi her wine and silks, Cathay lier vases, and Philadel phia her drugs. If there is anyone who does not believe that there is Ho- ; quence, poetry, science und arl in advertising, he will bc convinced al every turn herc. This is ?i superficial view ; beneath the sordid motive that inspires the in- \ dividual and. the mass, the man and . 1 i the manager, there is the restless tur moil of subtile occult forces oom. nd ing incessantly for that which is wost useful in labor, truest in art, gre:test in man. The Exhibition so far has not 1 ecu successful in n pecuniary sense. Thc entertainment is iead? (at least par tially., so)-the music of pipes and cymbals may be heard in the Main Building and in Iii?, temples of Epicu rus that have sprung up like toad stools in and around the grounds but the guests do not ^ome tc thc feast. Cent?n nial hotels, baili for this occasion, euch with accoteinoda < Hons foi not less than a thousand guests, ai e not one third full, j Mut few, comparatively, conn: ?.tither to the hotels or to thc show. Philadel phia cannot be much nunc cro/vded at this -imo than New York or Balti more. The reasons are plain. While the whole country, a nd j indoor, tho world, as an interest in this Exhibi tion, w ile literal millions are willing lo be. :i the labor and expense ty see ii., j ii. delpliia alone, who has the key to looks upon it as create expr?s [y for her gain. There i scarcer a brother of them, bqo&luc or ban r, who is not looktug^p in ios fire better here than in Europe, und that our people are more accus tomed to travel, still it must be re membered that population is. not so dense here, and that a visitation of ten millions would be one in every lour of our entire census. Upon the whole I think the gentle men who have the management ot' this Exhibition, and those who have rear "d booths of extortion in and around it, do not fully understand their day. f hey have failed to take into account ?he recent panic and the depression iii business and industry which p3r rades the country. There are mil ions who desire to come here ?for deasure and for improvement, bul he denizens of: the "City of Brother y Love" must not think that these uotives are as powerful as the ava ice which is burning in the bowels md brain of every Philadelphia^ Making bim insane with the folly that tie can grow rich in six months brough extortion of transient visit ors.
